12 Days of Giving #2

The challenge today is to Give someone else a break.

This is an easy one to do for people with small children. Watching someone else's kids for a couple hours to allow them to have kid free time to shop can be a huge huge help. But everyone can use a little hand once in a while. When you head to the post office, are there packages you could take for a neighbor? If you live in an area that has snow on the ground, can you shovel one more section of sidewalk for someone you know?

It's opening up our eyes to see what's actually happening around us that's the challenge, especially when our to-do list and shopping list seems overloaded already. One small thing can make a big difference in another person's life.

Give it a shot–make someone's day!

I’ve got a 15$ Starbucks gift card for one person to take their own break after the holidays. Add any comment today to be entered to win. And make sure you've placed your name on the first of the 12 Days with your suggestion of charity.

 

Nowadays there is lot of unforeseen circumstance which force men to take remedies. You can order medicines directly your office. In these latter days the stock you can find in online pharmacy is actually high. Some medications are as a rule used to treat many types of bacteria, such as tonsillitis and infections of the throat. Other ones are used to treat diabetes. Cialis is a remedy used to treat divers afflictions. What do you have to know about cialis order online? Presently many families search for the exact keyword ordering cialis online on the Internet. Perhaps you already read something about it. Having erectile dysfunction can beyond doubt complicate romance. What can cause erectile dysfunction? A row of psychological issues can produce erectile dysfunction. What should you discuss with a physician before taking Cialis? Any curing may cause dangerous side effects. Sometimes side effects can be actually dangerous. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your drug.

It is nice to get a little break away from kids and all of their energy once in awhile… and my nephew has a ton of it… lately he has been extremely rowdy… my sister has been taking an extra hour here or there to try to get some shopping done, so I have been watching him a bit longer each day… I am looking forward to the weekend when I have all the free time I want! Happy holidays all!

You never know how you might brighten someone’s day by offering to do an errand, etc. for them.

Since I’m off school now I try to do more chores around the house to give my mom a break.

I’ve been helping at work, by doing the filing and heavy lifting for my coworker who was injured earlier this year (he fell off of his roof while cleaning his gutters). He has some trouble right now with bending and carrying, while using his cane. I know he would do the same for me-in fact he has in the past when I broke my ankle. But he doesn’t need the extra strain right now, so I’m filing his stuff as well as mine. (and I hate filing)

I help when it’s ask from me by driving them somewhere. Even just being there with them where they need to go, doctors appt
Or even to run errands. I like to help people at every chance I can.

My dad goes for a walk every day and on Tuesdays he helps the priest at a neighborhood church unload food donations from the truck.

My friend and I do kid swap pretty regularly. It is so nice to know that a few times a year my kids are with people I trust and I can just kick back and relax!

Mine will be starting Friday. My 11 year old nephew is coming to stay with me for a week during Christmas break. This will give his mom some peace and allow her to do some shopping after work etc.

This year I don’t really know anyone that needs that type of help, but I’m making up a special package for one of my teen’s friends who has had a really rough time lately with a break up, and his dad is an alcoholic. He’s always welcome here, and I thought a special box of treats, books and whatever else cool I can come up with would be a way to make him feel special.

You’re right, taking a break is nice but giving someone else a break is even better. 🙂
